Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

The next day, Qin Yu got up early.

At this moment, Qin Yu had Chunfeng and Yuzhu help her with her hair and makeup.

Qin Yu now plans to go to the Prime Minister's residence, and will first test the Prime Minister and then test Cheng Qixia. She wants to see what kind of trouble these two are up to, and if they really want to deal with Xu Jiu.

It seems Qin Yu has to take action. Qin Yu cannot allow Xu Jiu to have any problems. After all, if Shangguan Mufeng liked someone else, Qin Yu might not have bothered. But Xu Jiu is different from others. Moreover, if something happens to Xu Jiu, there will definitely be conflicts between the two countries, and the consequences are obvious.

Chunfeng and Yuzhu were surprised by Qin Yu's actions. They never expected that Qin Yu would ask them to dress him up as soon as he woke up. But Chunfeng and Yuzhu did as Qin Yu asked.

"Your Highness, do you look like you're going out?"

Qin Yu nodded, confirming that she was indeed about to leave.

Qin Yanling was unwell today, so the court assembly was canceled. Afterwards, Qin Yu went to the Prime Minister's residence. The Prime Minister was about to leave when he unexpectedly saw Qin Yu's sedan chair the moment he opened the door.

He was stunned in that instant, never expecting Qin Yu to come here, nor did he know Qin Yu's purpose in coming here.

After some careful consideration, he turned his attention to Qin Yu.

"I wonder what brings Your Highness here today?"

He was truly exceptional. Wanting to know Qin Yu's purpose in coming here, Qin Yu glanced at the Prime Minister.

"I only wanted to see the Prime Minister. Besides, my cousin visited me recently, so it's only right that I come and see you both again, isn't it?"

Has Xu Jinxin gone to see Qin Yu? This truly surprised even the Prime Minister. He wondered what her purpose was in going to see Qin Yu. At this moment, the Prime Minister felt a little flustered.

It seems that once Qin Yu leaves, he must go and see Xu Jinxin to ask her why she did this. Why did Xu Jinxin go to see Qin Yu for no reason? When did she go to see Qin Yu? How come he knows nothing about this?

The atmosphere around them suddenly became a little strange, and Qin Yu turned his attention to the Prime Minister, who hurriedly made a gesture of invitation.

Qin Yu had been standing there for so long, but the Prime Minister had not invited him in. This was somewhat inappropriate in terms of both manners and reason. So the Prime Minister invited Qin Yu in. As soon as they entered the hall, Qin Yu brought the gifts he had given him.

“Your Highness, you’ve come all this way, why bring all these things? It’s really too much of a courtesy.”

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu told the person in front of him that it wasn't a matter of being polite or not, but rather a matter of giving and receiving in accordance with etiquette. Then Qin Yu decided to try to trick him here.

Mo Yun silently stayed in front of Qin Yu. Mo Yun understood what Qin Yu wanted to do and naturally supported him. In fact, if he could, Mo Yun would like to directly interrogate him here.

"I wonder if the Prime Minister is aware of the princess's recent assassination attempt."

"Has Her Highness been attacked recently? Has Her Highness been injured?"

The Prime Minister, looking anxious, scrutinized Qin Yu. Qin Yu, seeing this, felt for a moment that the Prime Minister's question seemed a bit off. It must be said that the Prime Minister's acting skills were quite good.

"Of course it wasn't me, but the princess of the neighboring country who resides in my residence. This princess of the neighboring country was recently attacked by assassins. I wonder who the Prime Minister thinks is responsible, since people have been searching for the assassins for three or four days, but in the end they still haven't found them."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's question, the Prime Minister was momentarily at a loss for words. He had a feeling that Qin Yu knew something and was now there to interrogate him. Fine beads of sweat glistened on the Prime Minister's forehead, but he knew he couldn't show it too much…

Otherwise, it would backfire, and the Prime Minister naturally told Qin Yu everything seriously. "I also sent people to investigate, but I don't know who it is."

Qin Yu looked the Prime Minister up and down with a glint in her eyes, and couldn't help but tease him. "I didn't expect the Prime Minister to have already sent people to investigate. It's quite surprising. I thought the Prime Minister was indifferent to worldly affairs."

Qin Yu had barely finished speaking when the prime minister began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages.

More importantly, Qin Yu, listening to the Prime Minister's analysis, felt that what the Prime Minister said made a lot of sense.

"I find the Prime Minister's analysis to be very reasonable, and I agree with it quite a bit. However, I would like to ask the Prime Minister why you believe that it was people from the neighboring country who sent the assassination of the princess, since this princess is quite pampered in the neighboring country."

Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister would tell Qin Yu that there was no such thing as brotherhood among members of the royal family. This remark made Qin Yu's heart skip a beat.

The prime minister seemed to realize something and hurriedly changed his tune.

Qin Yu shook his head at the Prime Minister's expression, indicating that it was alright. Then Qin Yu asked the Prime Minister what kind of friendship he felt between him and Qin Yanling.

"The Princess and His Majesty are actually bound by blood, after all, isn't the Princess His Majesty's only direct descendant in this world?"

It must be said that this Prime Minister is truly eloquent and has quite the silver tongue. "I have decided to entrust the task of finding the assassin to the Prime Minister. I wonder if the Prime Minister will agree?"

The Prime Minister never expected that Qin Yu would entrust him with the task of finding the assassin. At this moment, the Prime Minister was a little flustered. Where in the world could he possibly find the assassin? If he couldn't find the assassin, would he be punished? After all, he was Qin Yu's royal uncle.

"Judging from your appearance, does it mean you are unwilling to take on this task? If so, then I will hand it over to someone else."

"Your Highness, it's just that I feel I'm not capable of handling this matter."

The prime minister said with some guilt.
